Sepia Saturday 108 : 14 January 2012

I am not saying anything about my chosen old image for this week other than it is a still from the 1912 silent film "The New York Hat". The image comes courtesy of the Billy Rose Theatre Collection at the New York Public Library and, as always, via the magnificent Flickr Commons initiative. Other than that you can make of it what you will - pick your own themes, find your own prompts, follow you own cues. It is what you have all been doing so well for the last 107 weeks. All we ask is that your posts have some kind of old image within them, that you post them on or around Saturday the 14th of January 2012, that you add a link to your post to the list below, that you link back to the Sepia Saturday Blog, and that you try and visit as many of the other participants as you can manage. What could be easier? It's a piece of cake. No it's not, it is a hat.

A NYC hat! 75 years younger and it would have been the perfect addition to my SS107. You will be in NYC by the end of the decade with Amy and will have to stop into a haberdashery. J.J. Hat Center would be the perfect fit - established in 1811!

I couldn't find any beautiful hats like this one in my postcard collect so I wrote about beautiful Coast Guard stations and tonsils. Wow that's a stretch! Remember to open your mouth wide when you read my post. :)

Just came across your blog today and have to tell you I love it! I actually post a picture each Sunday on my blog called "Women with Hats" so today's topic really caught my attention. I hope you enjoy my entry. I enjoyed looking at everyone else's photos and look forward to more Sepia Saturdays.Teresa Wilson Rogershttp://forgottenfacesandlongagoplaces.blogspot.com/

Apologies to all....since yesterday comments are not working on my blog and on many others who use blogger.com/ Apparently so the story (excuse) goes Blogger changed some coding and everything went to "h%$l" They claim they are working on it, but today it is still not fixed....Darn and double darn, nothing we can do

Thanks to Bob Scotney for letting me know I had vanished from Alan's Linky (sounds kind of Kinky!)Sure enough where did I go, I was there and am not,,, anyway I am having trouble with Blogger not processing comments but some are getting through...take you chances and come on by to see my feathered hat ladies..now I should appear at the tail end....

Sepia Saturday

Launched by Alan Burnett and Kat Mortensen in 2009, Sepia Saturday provides bloggers with an opportunity to share their history through the medium of photographs. Historical photographs of any age or kind (they don't have to be sepia) become the launchpad for explorations of family history, local history and social history in fact or fiction, poetry or prose, words or further images. If you want to play along, all we ask is that your sign up to the weekly Linky List, that you try to visit as many of the other participants as possible, and that you have fun.
